I absolutely refuse to say what I used to like playing with the most as I think that with males, it's a life long obsession.... but If a have to pick something, I would say....ummmm..... lego :-6

My bicycle and BB gun got used near every day.

My brothers and I would take over the dining room floor and set up a town with buildings that looked remarkably like hard-back books ! We'd get out our Dinky toys and play bank robbery or something similar. My older brother John deliberately bashed the dinky toy fire engine at the front, so it looked as if it had been in a road traffic accident! We would spend hours playing like that. I had a chinese checkers game where the pieces were like people but without arms or legs. With six different colours it was easy to have the police as the blue ones, the fire brigade were red. Criminals were brown, and ordinary people were pink for women, green for men, and yellow for children ! :yh_rotfl
A child's imagination is a wonderful thing !
But a favourite 'game' of mine was building a 'den' outside, out of pieces of wood, sturdy cardboard boxes, bits of carpet etc. It was built under the shelter of a lean-to type roof over our french doors, and I had hours of fun in there, and my friends, mostly boys (because there were very few girls in the neighbourhood) would come around to play. Eventually they all had their own 'dens' in their own gardens and we'd all go to 'visit' these other dens and there would be arguments as to who had the best den!
I was never a doll person, or a 'housewife' person. I preferred dinky toys, meccano, playing cowboys and indians, climbing trees and going to the nearby park where I would climb trees in the woods there - there were signs up to say nobody was to go into the woods, so we just avoided being seen going in. :wah: There were always plenty of 'conkers' at the appropriate time of year, and we would use the dens in the bushes that had been made by the deer, for our cowboy and indian games.
We had board games, like monopoly, and dad taught us all chess, draughts and dominoes. Dominoes was a good game to learn basic maths, particularly when we played 3's and 5's.
When I passed my 11 plus exam ( at 10 years old !), I was given a bicycle as a reward, and I've no idea how mum and dad managed to afford it. They had done the same for my two older brothers, so we each had bikes. That expanded my area of play quite considerably!
I'd better stop here, as I will be writing my life story at this rate.:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl
